We have put together a few questions for you to discuss with friends or family as you prepare for Yom Kippur.
All of these questions are meant to help us think more about how our community can deepen our ability to the search for truth together.
1) Name someone in your life who you respect as a truth teller.
What is it that makes you appreciate how this person speaks about the truth? What have you learned from this person?
2) Is there something you now believe to be true that you used to think was false? Or perhaps the opposite: What did you use to believe was true and now believe is false?
3) Can you remember a moment when your participation in a group or a community helped you to understand a new truth or to deepen or broaden your understanding of the truth in a meaningful or
surprising way?
What about your participation in that group helped you to discover the truth? What was that truth?
4) Can you think of a moment when someone was kind or patient with you in a way that helped you to discover something true?
Was it a personal truth or a universal truth?
Who was that person?
What was it about their behavior that helped you to find this truth?
5) Have you ever felt that what was true for you was not acknowledged or even contradicted by a group of which you were a part?
How would you describe that moment?
What did it feel like?
How did you respond?
Gemar Tov & Leshanah Tovah!
Wishing You a year filled with kindness love and truth.
